Technical field
Present disclose relates generally to power electronics (power electronics) systems, and relate more particularly to be used for
The gate driving circuit of power conversion device.
Background technique
Background technique description is described below for the purpose for only providing context.Therefore, which describes
Any aspect its do not have degree of other qualifications as the prior art on, both ambiguously or be not impliedly recognized as
It is the prior art for the disclosure.
In power electronic circuit, cause due to controlling theme switching device by drive circuit during switching process
Electric stress (electrical stress), so-called gate driver circuit be important and for design for have
Challenge.For example, voltage stress influences theme switching device during turn off process, and current stress is sent out during connection process
It is raw.In some applications, it may be desirable that and/or realize for connecting the different switching speeds of (ON) relative to shutdown (OFF).
Particularly, switching speed usually determines switching loss.Switching speed is faster, and switching loss is lower, so that switching frequency is higher.?
On the other hand, it means that at identical loss level, faster the semiconductor of switching speed generates higher switching frequency, this
Smaller passive component is resulted in, so as to cause higher power density.For conventional Si IGBT, for example, switching speed
It can be and about > 100 nanosecond (ns) carry out ON/OFF, and for GaN device, such value can drop to~10 ns, this meaning
Switching loss be conventional device~1/10 Si.This will generate much higher efficiency or 10 times of higher power density.
It is related to controlling the input capacitance to switching device by the mechanism that gate driver circuit is realizedCarry out charging and
Electric discharge.In theory, different switching speeds and ON/OFF time mean the different impedances of gate driving loop.
